Or maybe, just maybe, there was time during the long hot days to dream a dream or two, to wander into another world, your' own make-believe world and your dreams tight around hold them close, for dreams are elusive and this may be your last to have time to dream That bring a what s to School may get you down but there's always those three months to look forward to . . .
